Italian-made Famag spiral mixers are world renowned for outstanding baking results. As Famag's exclusive importer, Pleasant Hill Grain is proud to offer these high performance mixers! 

Engineered expressly for ideal dough-mixing and kneading results, Famag spiral mixers feature a spiral agitator that remains stationary while the bowl rotates, bringing the dough to the stainless steel dough hook with each revolution. This action is exceptionally thorough and uniform, while avoiding both overworking and overheating of the dough. An integrated offset breaker bar ensures ideal metering of the dough into the spiral hook. This three-way kneading process is exceptionally thorough and fast, yet the low impact and widely distributed dough contact of the spiral hook completely avoids overworking and overheating of the dough. Wide-range, infinitely variable speed adjustment lets you dial in precisely the action you want.

The IM-10 mixer is available in two dough hook RPM ranges: 98-245 or 130-312 RPM. Read about the difference between these models in the high hydration dough section below.

PROFESSIONAL DESIGN

Famag dough mixersfeature heavy duty chain overhead drive, with a high torque dual-belt final drive. FAG sealed industrial ball bearings are used for exceptionally long life. Construction is robust throughout, as attested to by the mixer’s substantial 81.5 lb. weight. Epoxy powder coating over a steel cabinet protects the handsome appearance of your Famag bread mixer.

Tilting or Fixed Head

The Famag IM-10 mixer is available with either a tilting head that features a high lift drive and lift assist, or with a fixed head. The model with the fixed head is the IM-10, and the model with the tilting head and removable bowl is the IM-10S. The bowl is removable on the mixer with a tilting head, and is not removable on the mixer with a fixed head.

If you're mixing high hydration doughs we recommend you purchase the tilting head/removable bowl mixer so it's easier to remove the dough from the bowl, and to clean the bowl. It's easy to remove low hydration dough from the fixed head mixer than it is to remove high hydration dough, and cleaning the bowl after mixing low hydration dough is easily done with the bowl attached to the mixer.

HIGH HYDRATION OR HEAVY DOUGH

Thanks to the spiral hook’s action, mixtures that overtax other designs—such as pizza or bagel dough—are handled easily, quickly and efficiently in the Famag spiral dough mixer. Doughs of all kinds, from heavy to high-hydration artisan doughs, come out smooth, silky and perfectly developed.

The Famag IM-10S HH mixer is identical to the standard IM-8S Famag mixer, except that it has a special sprocket that allows the mixer to run at a faster RPM. The spiral hook on this model runs at 130-312 RPM, while the hook on the standard IM-10S mixer runs at 98-245 RPM. Click for the approximate RPM at each speed, for each model. The IM-10S HH mixer is designed specifically for high hydration dough (over 75% hydration). If you aren't planning to make a lot of high hydration dough, the mixer with the regular sprocket is a great option.

Famag dough mixers feature heavy duty chain overhead drive, with a high torque dual-belt final drive. FAG sealed industrial ball bearings are used for exceptionally long life. Construction is robust throughout, as attested to by the mixer’s substantial 81.5 lb. weight. Epoxy powder coating over a steel cabinet protects the handsome appearance of your Famag bread mixer.

SUPER CAPACITY RANGE

Famag's IM-10 mixes and kneads up to 22 lbs. (10 kg) of dough at 60% hydration (or more at a higher hydration), but also handles batches as small as 3.3 lbs. (1.5 kg) equally as well. In terms of flour capacity, this is 8.8 lbs. (4 kg) down to 1.3 lbs (0.6 kg). Capacity of the stainless steel bowl is 14 quarts. The kneading arm of the Famag lifts high for bowl access and removal, and provides lift-assist.

Notes 

  1. Heavier doughs can be mixed when the hydration level is higher than the 60% hydration formulas listed above. 
  1. The flour used for these capacity tests was 00 durum wheat flour.

Speed Based on Hydration 

Variable speed mixers have a speed dial marked from 1-10. For normal dough with a hydration of 55-65%, the mixer can be operated at speeds 1 through 5. With 65-75% hydration, at speeds 1 through 6-7, and with dough over 75% hydration, at speeds 1 through 8-10. These are general guidelines, as dough characteristics vary. If mixing dough that's less than 60% hydration, it's recommended to only fill the bowl to 50% capacity, and mix for only 10 minutes at a time; judgment must be exercised in any case, to avoid kneading dough so dry it’s outside of normal baking parameters, regardless of the hydration numbers. With dough over 60% hydration, dough can be mixed for up to 20-25 minutes before the mixer should be turned off for about 40 minutes.

FORWARD AND REVERSE MIXING

There are two buttons on the Famag mixer for controlling the direction of both the dough hook and bowl. The left arrow button moves the spiral hook in a downward motion, and the right arrow button moves the hook in an upward motion. The left arrow button can be referred to as the “forward” direction while the right arrow button can be referred to as the “reverse” direction.

Some users incorporate ingredients with the spiral hook turning in an upward motion, to reduce the amount of oxygen incorporated into the ingredients, and then switch to a downward motion to knead the dough. Others users prefer to mix with the hook turning in a downward motion from start to finish.

The Famag IM-10 kneads up to 23 lbs. of dough, making it an ideal size for a large home use machine, or small bakery mixer. Looking for larger Famag mixers? Check out the IM-40 dough mixer that kneads 84 lbs. (38 kg) doughand IM-50 that kneads up to 110 lbs. (50 kg) dough!

Artisan Baker's Gift Bundle

Are you ready to wow an aspiring artisan bread baker in your life? The Artisan Baker's Gift Bundle will start them on their journey!

The best way to measure ingredients for baking is to weight them, and the OXO Good Grips Scale weighs up to 11 pounds in ounces, pounds, kilograms and grams. A feature we especially appreciate is the pull-out digital display so we can read the weight even when we have a large bowl on the scale.

Proofing dough in the round rattan proofing basket made by Frieling, with a basket liner, is an easy way to create a boule for a truly artisan-style bread. Proofing bags (pack of 100) are an easy way to keep the dough humid while it's proofing, so it doesn't dry out.

Scoring is the technique of slashing the top of bread dough with a lame to allow the bread to open up while rising, as it bakes. The Mure & Peyrot Adour scoring lame is easy to use, and comes with a cover to keep the blade protected when not in use. We do offer replacement blades.

The German-made Haussler Star dough stencil is a unique tool that is sure to delight! The stencil impresses an attractive star-shaped design in bread rolls and buns. It's especially good for making Austrian Kaiser rolls.

Maldon sea salt flakes from the shores of the Blackwater Estuary in England are a gourmet way to finish artisan breads. We like to sprinkle Maldon flakes on focaccia bread, and chocolate chip cookies too!

Also included is our favorite 100% Whole Wheat Bread recipe printed on a thick, glossy recipe card!

Gift wrapping not included.

Awesome
By Joe S. in MN on 7/26/2020 Verified Buyer

You can't get the mixing with a planetary the same as a spiral. It's no comparison. This is designed for dough, with no slapping against the bowl and low resistance on the drive. No countertop movement, no whine. I definitely will get another. Great customer service too. Awesome.

FAMAG IM-10S SPIRAL DOUGH MIXER
By Lori M. in NY on 5/01/2019 Verified Buyer

Received the mixer but have not used it as of yet. Delivery was quick. I will post review of mixer after the first use. The only down check so far was the packing peanuts that went all over my house and not recyclable.

Next Level!
By LindaAnn on 10/23/2024 Verified Buyer

I have been making yeast breads for over 4 decades and a bit over a decade ago I got into milling our flour, then a few years ago I expanded I to sourdough. This ‘new to me’ style mixer is changing the way I approach developing gluten while being able to greatly increase the dough hydration line I never dreamed of! It’s oh so quiet & steady while being strong enough to tackle large batches of fresh milled whole grain bread dough.

And of course, ordering through & working with the Pleasant Hill Grain staff just makes the experience all that much better. Which is why I keep coming back to PHG.

Simply Amazing!
By Randy Cummings on 9/16/2024 Verified Buyer

“Easy” is the first word that comes to mind. It is so capable, you expect it to be complex. Not so.

I recommend that you start out by reading the entire manual. Like any top quality machine, it requires maintenance.

The tilt head makes it a snap to clean.

The controls are easy to understand and simple to use. You don’t have to guess with the variable speed and powerful motor.

This machine will make it easier to produce the quality bread I bake for Community Loaves (communityloaves.org). Every other week, we donate the bread to our local Food Bank. Check ‘em out.

I will love my purchase for years to come.

Happy Owner

A Workhorse
By Christine Charbonneau on 6/06/2024 Verified Buyer

I have made over 2,000 loaves of bread in this machine since I got it in 2021. On the days I made 60 loaves, the machine did not even get warm. The density of the recipe in question sent two Kitchen Aid Pros to the repair shop. This is as close to a professional piece of equipment as most home bakers will ever need. I love that the top of mine tilts up for better access to the bowl—and the ability to remove the bowl to handle large amounts of dough, and for ease of cleaning.

Great mixer.
By Laura on 4/29/2024 Verified Buyer

It's a powerful small mixer. Great for small or home business. I love the mixer, my only regret is I ordered the fixed head instead of the tilting head.

Amazing Machine and Incredible Customer Service!
By Emily on 3/02/2024 Verified Buyer

I have considered this mixer for such a long time, wanting to increase my ability to better utilize my time in my home-based bakery. I have only had it for a short time, but I'm so impressed with this machine! The customer service offered at Pleasant Hill Grain is second to none. So thankful!

A Beast of a Machine
By Paolo on 2/28/2024 Verified Buyer

This machine is a beast. I've only had it for a week, but have been able to run ti through the paces. It performed exactly as I was hoping, and it will surely get a lot of use. I should add that it's quieter than I expected - no complaints there. Caution to anyone who orders this machine, however. On delivery day, make sure that there is someone around to help you carry it in, remove it from the packaging and place it. I wasn't kidding when I said that it's a beast. It weighs a lot.
